Are you kidding!! I love it, all but the last series that is...

but to get the thread back on track...

was in the thick of the whole Matthew Kelly arrest thing, because he was working here at the time. Dead nice bloke...wasn't so keen on the old press though!

Stephanie Beecham...very short...much shorter than you think...a very short lady.
Charles Dance...very posh.
Brian May...big hair.

I hold the record for getting "Beat the beat" in the shortest time on my local radio (In beat the beat they played roughly half of a second of a piece of music, and you had to phone in and guess what it was. The previous tune had gone unguessed for weeks (each week the prize value went up), and the winner got £2000 for guessing it. The next morning They played a new beat for the first time at 6.15 - I had been awake roughly half a minute, but realised I knew it; phoned in and got it, winning £100*. the station were a little stunned, and I drove to work with a big grin on my face...


*A measly hundred!!!! why couldn't I have waited a few weeks????

 

[Womble]

Lummie, someone else from Aldershot!

Do I know you already...?

 

[JakeR]

Wow, big flash of nostalgia when I read that! A crackin' claim to fame ... I still have a copy of the original Trumpton album (tunes on one side, stories on the other - belter!)... but I'd probably best keep quiet about that, eh

Oh, i was selected to play quite a major role on casualty, but then they decided to scrap me cos my skin was too dark compared with my characters parents. (i had signed no contract either). I have done quite a few things for tv through a drama agency i attended, but won't name them cos they make me cringe

 

[hootchi]

Sorry boss. No can do. :roll:

 

[JakeR]

The kids and I love watching Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley.

I myself can proudly say the only person to beat me in a left handed arm-wrestle was Jeff capes a world strongest man who I challenged at a Zoo he was appearing at in Sussex well I was only 12.

Now that is a real claim to fame to be proud of!
